A two-family house on a corner lot in Tokyo. Each entrance faces two streets, and a double spiral staircase and an elevator in the center of the house create the main flow line. The rooms are arranged like a three-dimensional puzzle, with the parent household occupying the first and half of the second floor, and the child household occupying the half of the second floor and the third floor. The terrace on the second floor, which faces the living room of each household, and the rooftop, which overlooks the district, are accessible to both households to provide a place for family reunion. To prevent the exterior design from becoming monotonous, a three-dimensional structure was created in which various boxes are stacked, and the size of the openings is varied. By using the same materials and colors for the interiors of both residences, the house is presented as one large, unified residence that does not feel out of place anywhere.

A design project about utilizing an idle land in front of Sendai Station East Plaza. The design concept is based on ‘Tsuji/辻[つじ],’ which means a crossroad with shops and restaurants. Tsuji became the key to the development of Sendai, and we wanted to appreciate the rich history by designing a place where residents gather to introduce and sell local products.
Lines are drawn on the ground like roads, which are all connected to the central square, placing shops and restaurants along the roads. By narrowing the width of paths, the area of shops and event spaces varies, making dynamic user experience. As the main event spaces are broadened, they become visible from Sendai Station, which brings opportunity to attract more visitors. (Joint design with Toshi Design, Inc.)
